16 day post op swelling after Tummy tuck, does it look normal? (photos)

Lsanneh84
I had my tummy tuck 31st march 2015 with no liposuction . I had a drain for 3 days. Swelling on my upper abdominal is reducing but around my belly button area and around my incision is swollen. I saw a nurse who removed the bandages on tues 14th april who said its normal but im worried its not and im not seeing my consultant for 3 weeks . I have posted my pre op and evening pics when im the most swollen. Im now 16 days pre op does it look normal ?
